Did you know that the microbes in your gut outnumber your own human cells? Trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi form a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and even mental health. Join Drs. Kylie Reed and Anna Salvador, experts in microbiome research, for a fascinating discussion on how the gut microbiome influences overall health. Learn how probiotics and diet can shape your microbial community and how imbalances in the gut have been linked to diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and anorexia. Join us on Wednesday, February 19th, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Chapel Hill Public Library.
